limap: A package for typesetting Information Maps
The Information Mapping® method provides a methodology for structuring and presenting information. It claims to be useful for readers who are more concerned about finding the right information than reading the document as a whole. Thus short, highly structured, and context free pieces of information are used.
limap provides a LaTeX style and a LaTeX class. The style contains definitions to typeset maps and blocks according to the Information Mapping® method. The class provides all definitions to typeset a whole document.
Samples
A few sample files are provided which contain dummy documents typeset with limap. They are contained in the sub-directory samples. You can have a look at the documentation of limap itself to see another example.
